Sinusitis crónica

Nombres alternativos:

Infección crónica de los senos paranasales

Prevención:

Los riesgos de contraer sinusitis se pueden disminuir con el uso de descongestionantes durante los períodos de infección de las vías respiratorias altas . Sin embargo, los aerosoles nasales descongestionantes deben usarse sólo por períodos de tiempo cortos o pueden empeorar la congestión, lo cual se conoce como congestión de rebote o rinitis medicamentosa.
